Athens-Clarke Police Blotter

An employee of Georgia Security, 337 S. Milledge Ave., told Athens-Clarke police Monday that an amber strobe-light bar had been stolen from atop one of the agency's security cars.

The light, valued at $350, was taken off the car sometime between 2 a.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. Monday, according to a police report.

The employee also reported that $100 was taken from a desk in the security office sometime between 3:30 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. Monday, according to a police report.

Man reportedly robbed at gunpoint

An Athens man told Athens-Clarke police Monday that he was robbed at gunpoint while walking between Reese and West Broad streets Friday afternoon.

The man, who had withdrawn a large sum of money from a credit union around noon Monday, said he was walking toward his residence when two black males approached him, one asking for a cigarette.

When the victim reached into his pocket to get a cigarette, the man pulled out an automatic handgun and said, ''Give it up, Slim,'' according to the report.

After giving the man his money, the victim was shoved forcefully by the second man, according to the report.

Both men then reportedly fled the scene with the victim's cash. The victim told police the man with the gun was in his early 20s and approximately 5 feet, 8 inches tall.

The victim described his other attacker as the same age, but taller, than the man with the gun.

The victim - who moved to Athens from New Jersey last year - told police he did not report the incident until Monday because he could not believe he had been ''stuck up at this little country town,'' according to the police report.
